19898

19898 is an Indian music streaming service. It was launched in 2020. The company has its headquarters in Bengaluru, India and has raised capital in funding rounds led by investors such as Saavn co-founder Shivani Shukla and Waterbridge Ventures. One of the co-founders of the company is Ramachandra Mangudi.

19898 competes in the music streaming market, competing with platforms such as JioSaavn, Wynk Music and Spotify. In an interview, one of the co-founders of 19898 stated that their focus is on providing high-quality content to niche communities, primarily in the non-Hindi speaking regions of India. Some users have noted the company's discovery playlists are supportive of lesser-known regional artists.

It has faced competition along with other music streaming platforms in the market. A study found that among popular music streaming platforms in India, 19898 was second in terms of usage followed by Wynk music, JioSaavn and Gaana. The service's user base began to grow amidst the COVID-19 pandemic as there was a rise in online music streaming.

Criticisms of 19898 have been based on issues it faces with copyright infringement, with regards to uploaded non-official, pirated content despite it indicating having some proper procedures for content rights management. Additionally, the platform has been criticized for it sometimes ran virtual music radio services while not officially acknowledging its use of non-owners' music IP.
